Panayis Chrysovergis creates Art and tells Stories

“Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling.If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.”                                                       

 -Don McCullin

 

After nearly 10 years working as a visual storyteller and publications in Guardian, ID magazine, Le Monde Magazine, The eye of photography etc; I now photograph weddings. The story-telling part of working as a documentary photographer is what has shaped my approach, influences and drives me to this day.

I am Panayis, a Destination Wedding & Portrait photographer based in London and specialising in Fine Art wedding photography through photojournalism. 

 

Every wedding is unique, and so should be the eye behind the lens

PREPARATION

A Day to always remember

CEREMONY

Wedding memories that last a lifetime

EMOTIONS

It's all about creating living memories

RECEPTION

Telling a story in just one image

PORTRAITS

And here are the stars of the show! My wedding couples are all unique people, both as individuals and as a couple.

A documentary wedding photographer should be all about telling a story. This genre of photography has several different names; wedding photojournalism, documentary wedding photography and reportage wedding photography. I don’t believe there is any difference between the three names generally, apart from, perhaps, what the bridal magazines see as the fashionable way to describe natural, story telling wedding photography.

INCREDIBLE PHOTOGRAPHER!!!!!!! Words cannot even begin to describe how grateful and lucky we are that we had Panayis celebrating and photographing our big day with us. We had such a blast with you all day long and felt 100% comfortable. The photos and memories you were able to capture are absolutely incredible; we couldn’t have asked for anything more. You are truly the best in your field and we feel so privileged that we got to enjoy our day with you. We’ll be bragging about you and our photos for a long time!

AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHER!!! Panayis photographed our wedding in December and we really could not have wished for anything more. His commitment to getting the best shots was incredible. Unlike other photographers we looked at, we truly felt that Panayis would go the extra mile for us and he did. He really went above and beyond to capture every moment of our wedding and the resulting photographs are beautiful and so moving. He captured the emotions of the day perfectly. We didn't even need a video as Panayis put together a story book of our wedding, showing every moment from start to finish. Panayis listened to us and what we wanted and made us feel so comfortable on the day. All our guests commented on his dedication - Panayis was with us for two days and did not stop working until the early hours on our wedding night. We really cannot recommend him enough.

There are literally no words to describe Panayis Chrysovergis . After meeting with several photographers, he was the ONLY one my husband and I liked, besides the fact that he portfolio is exquisite. His professionalism is unlike any other - prompt with responses, super creative! This helped prepare for the big day, especially if you are unsure of how to 'act' in front of the camera. Panayis has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I have ever met, and I was absolutely honored to have him play such a large role in my wedding. I can't recommend him enough.

Genesis; The birth of my son

In 19.08.2016, at Queens Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital, my partner Dora gave birth by a planned cesarean section to our son Stratis. I was there, day and night, and I capture every intimate moment of our life.

Potentially my pictures do show Dora in discomfort but once you’ve gone through birth you realize it’s not about the pain as we know it in an everyday sense. It’s an amazing, primal experience.

Dora has a strong emotional reaction every time she looks at her birthing pictures. There is an element of remembering the discomfort but in a nice, nostalgic ‘looking back’ kind of way. But above all these photos are a keepsake for her and for my son as one of the most significant moments of her & his new life.

As a father I felt that I have been assigned from my son to capture the intensity of feeling in the theater, the touches, the encouragement and the small details which get forgotten; documenting the wonder of his birth and helping Dora to understand and feel proud of this experience. “Birth is many things – beautiful, hard, rewarding, bonding, exhausting, difficult and yes, graphic but after all, it’s LIFE entering the world, souls meeting.
